I was just wondering what sort of large projects you added into this community. Back in the day when we were on WikkiTikkiTavi and I was an active member I did several large things. They include:

Main Pages - Me and DG made the articles for main pages 1 - 18 (if i remeber currectly) and all the secret main pages. We literally added that section of the wiki.

Places - They already had a places catagoery but it was quite sparce. I decided to work on it and after a while others were helping left and right.

Special Toons - Ya know the toons that dont fit in any other categoery? I made a place for them, they deserve to be acknoledged too.

Secret Pages - I once discovered a large collection of secret pages on a website and said to myself. Why dont we have this on the wiki? So it was born.

Fanstuff - Back when I really sucked at doing computer stuff I made a couple fan stuff images. I had no were to put them though so I made an area. Next thing I know its growing like wildfire.

SO what about you? What have you done?

Well...
*I have transcribed four DVD commentary transcripts for the wiki. Which can be quite annoying...
*One of my proudest accomplishments was when I managed to tag 400 images with {{web-screenshot}}, or something to that affect.
*I made the Rock Opera Karaoke page
*The Stinkoman level 9.1 walkthrough
*Another one of my proudest, I made the article toons by length.
*By far my most proud contribution to the wiki, I have welcomed 175 people to the knowledge base. That is, by far, the largest on the wiki.
Go Bragging!

I have contributed a lot of pages and content to the wiki, but here are some of the biggest ones...

1) Got "1936" changed into "Old-Timey" (although I didn't do the actual manlabor)
2) Created the standard of using "Music Video Visuals" pages for all the music videos, which used to only show lyrics.
3) Creating and setting the standard of the Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough, by writing the walkthrough of the first three levels almost entirely by myself.
4) Creating and making at least half of the Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters page (Article of the week! Whoo!)

Take that, people who say there's nothing left to do on the wiki. :p

Whoo. I got the email version set up. Yay for related contributions. >.>


Another thing I'm kinda pround of is having, as of posting this, 505 individual talk page headers on my Fanstuff Wiki talk page. If you add my knowledge base talk, this gives me a grand total of 537 talk headers on the H*R Wikis. Much more than anyone else. (>'-')> <('-')> <('-'<)
[/too much bragging]

Recently, I decided to make Store our Collaborative Community Project. I started it off, and a lot of users joined in and helped (especially AtionSong and Lapper, who got the seperate articles for products started, and Thunderbird, who single-handedly updated all of the Store ID tags. )

Lesse' here... I also wrote the transcript for The Best Decemberween Ever. I also added the Store section of HRWiki:Userbox.

When I first joined the wiki over two years ago, one of the first things I did to become a noticed member of the community was reorganise the Strong Bad emails. I just started the project, but it was the largest product the wiki had ever taken on at that time. That may have been my only project, but it left me with lasting respect.

Strangely, the largest things I've done have been since I've become a "full Forum user". At first, I just created level 5 on the Stinkomanual. Then, I was able to do the transcript for Puppet Stuff: Mission Control (with help from Ju Ju Master).

But the biggest thing I've done is Biz Cas Fri 3. I laid out a ton of the groundwork for that, including the picture, the transcript, and more. As I say occasionally, Biz Cas Fri 3 is my baby. ;)

I did a lot for the Peasant's Quest Responses page. Added a lot, organized it (it was really disorganized before. The alphabet was my idea, as was adding the actual text.) Of course, I had plenty of help.

Also added the item text from PQ.

Did the transcript for do over.

I've got a bunch of stuff listed on my User page, but I'm really posting here to mention my latest:

What with all of the skin messing-around on Saturday, I've figured out what needed to be done to get the Cologne Blue skin working. :D
Click here to check it out...
(Or just add ?useskin=cologneblue to the end of any page URL. Or &useskin=cologneblue if there's already a ? sign)

It kinda worked before, but none of the email blockquotes, or the main page... basically everything that was done in our custom Monobook.css had to be copied and tweaked... but now it works! Hurrah!

Ugh- reading this topic makes me feel like a loser now... (Then again, who are the true losers - the ones that view the wiki or the ones that take all of that time to do all of that work over a silly webtoon?)

I've never truly done anything for the Wiki besides minor edits, like correcting typos, adding Fun Facts, or nominating Featured Articles. I don't even have a registered UserName.

I'm not much better than you pal. I mostly just do some minor edits (grammar) and stick around on the STUFF page.

Right now I'm doing two somewhat large projects on the fanstuff, concerning OCBs and OCEs. I'm trying to make things mroe organized and updated. I've done some organization so far, and added a few templates, which I've placed on abandoned blogs and emails.

Well, recently I took the liberty of cleaning up the Sightings a tiny bit. It's not very much I did, but uhh. It just seemed like everybody went and stuck stuff like "This guy on Seinfeld said "awiiiight" the same way Homestar does on the Homestar Talker!!!!" so I went and cleaned up some bits on that. Other than that I make small edits and just lurk around.

FYI, oesophagus is the British spelling, esophagus is the U.S. spelling. Since TBC are based in the U.S., the Wiki uses U.S. spellings.
